AAUW members are voting on “Open Up AAUW,” an initiative to eliminate the college degree requirement for AAUW membership. The proposed national bylaws changes are detailed on the AAUW website at AAUW National Election 2024, where you can also find an Open Membership Toolkit and FAQ. In addition, the Open Up AAUW website contains much information on this change.

Let’s make this vote be our last one on opening up AAUW membership! Please vote YES to making AAUW the inclusive organization it strives to be.
